Obviously you are a month to month renter. You have possession so the owner will have to sue and serve you to recover possession. Telling you to leave means nothing.
I know that terminating a month to month lease requires at least 30 days notice. 1. Does that notice require that it be given at the beginning of the month, or at any time? 2. Serving them via a process server will be very difficult, as they are not here at any specific times. What is an... View More

In Nevada, when someone stays in a hotel or motel for an extended period of time, they might establish tenancy rights. Generally, once someone has stayed in a place for 30 days or more, they could be considered a tenant rather than a transient lodger, which means that the eviction process would be... View More

able to sue for gross negligence? My household insurance is certainly inadequate. Thank you.
answered on Sep 13, 2023
Yes, you can possibly sue the person who caused the fire for negligence or gross negligence. Gross negligence is somewhat harder to prove but could give rise to punitive damages if you sustained bodily injuries from the fire.
There are strategic reasons why you might not choose to sue... View More

If your mother dies before her boyfriend, he will end up owning the property they hold in joint tenancy. If you are an only child and your mother dies without a will you will have to probate the house solely in her name but you will get it unless creditors have a claim. Even if she had willed the...

answered on Jun 14, 2023
A notice of lis pendens does not preclude another person from placing a lien (fraudulent or not) on a parcel of real estate.
If your name is on the deed as the owner of the property, a notice of lis pendens would serve no purpose for you.
In fact, if the tenant were to sue you to... View More
